The supramolecular interaction between the amino acid Fmoc-pentafluoro-phenylalanine and the partner molecule led to the formation of a crystal complex in the solid state. In water, the two molecules gave hydrogels, whose fibrillar network is held together by the same supramolecular interactions observed in crystals.
